My name is Lisa and I am the Deroche Outreach Facilitator for Mission Literacy In Motion. Along with my work in Deroche, I also assist with literacy events, community outreach, workshops, programs and anywhere else I can roll up my sleeves and pitch in. But my favorite part of the job is when I get to read books to children and see first-hand the social and emotional benefits of early learning. When I am not working with Mission Literacy In Motion, you can find me caring for plants on our family nursery, working at my part time job with Fraser Health, or volunteering in the community. I am also a wife and proud mom of two grown daughters. I am passionate about literacy because I believe that life-long learning empowers individuals, connects families and strengthens communities.
My name is Kayla Kiselich and I am the Reading Buddies Coordinator for Mission Literacy in Motion. I enjoy igniting a love of literacy in our youth through games, stories, and play. Learning to read is so much more than just flipping through books. I encourage our Reading Buddies to get creative and enjoy all the wonders our public library has to offer.
When I am not pairing up Big and Little Buddies, I can be found at many community events volunteering with my family, out in our local forests or at home enjoying my many plants and animals.
My name is Viki Buchanan. I moved to Mission 24 years ago and attended my first Riot of Reading as a parent. I got involved in my child’s school as a volunteer for Erica Jurgens, our Aboriginal liaison and the coordinator for the First Nations Parents Club. In 2008, I took the Parent-Child Mother Goose training and still love the impact this program has today.
